Key features and benefits of ProSizes software, including the new Mockup Generator Pro Max, include:
Unrivaled Image Processing with Enhanced Gen AI: The Mockup Generator Pro Max now boasts the ability to process images using enhanced Generative AI to produce perfect, aspect-ratio-correct images in seconds.

Custom Print Sizing: The software creates custom-sized prints perfectly formatted for photo labs, with flexible metric and imperial unit options. It can generate multiple image sizes, ready for printing.
Unprecedented Efficiency: ProSizes dramatically cuts down editing time and costs. From a single JPEG file, users can prepare a comprehensive set of customized resized images, composites, and room mock-ups in mere seconds (or collectively in less than 2 minutes), a task that would otherwise consume hours of manual work.
